Glad you agree regarding the validate abuse issue..

Hmm.. yeah.. but then I'd like you to ask yourself.. if the MM can detect it
(thus won't take any damage because it) why would you wanna halt the
process? Isn't it a much better option to let that be up to the developer?
Most likely the application can continue to run past that point as the MM
detected the error.. If we're talking server software I'm pretty sure people
wouldn't want the whole server to crash/close just because one
request/action generated an exception.. they'd much rather have the server
log the exception/send an error report....

Anyways I wouldn't mind at all as long you give me that conditional define
:)
